I lost my job!
For the last 18 months I’ve been blessed with a stay at home job. I was hired as an independent contractor. My initial contract was for 3 months, but it kept getting renewed-until now. Today, I found out that it is not getting renewed and I am beyond bummed. I’m scared. I’m worried. I don’t know how I’m going to help provide for my family. I knew this job wasn’t forever, but I just didn’t expect it to end right at this moment. I am totally unprepared.
Please send me some positive thoughts. I could use all the help I can get right now.
positive thoughts going your way……..I am in the boat with you, helping both of us float above water!
I am so sorry! Sending many positive thoughts your way. Maybe something better is right around the corner that you might have overlooked otherwise?
I hope something good is on the way for both of us. I'm feeling pretty deflated.
I've been there before… and babe, it will be all right. It always is.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending good vibes your way; perhaps this will be the start of something new and exciting. 🙂
Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way…
I'm sending all my positive energy your way!
Thank you, Beautiful! Maybe some of that postive change force that is going on in your life will make its way to me.
Awww man. I'm sorry to hear that. That really sucks. I will send you some positivity – just try to trust that this is all going to work out for the best. Maybe there's a fabulous job around the corner!
'kay, I just unfollowed and refollowed. Hope it works!
I'm so sorry about your job…something will come up, I know you'll be okay.
I'll say a prayer for you, friend. : )
Thank you, friend.
I'm so upset because I totally didn't get this blog in my feeder or whatever the kids are calling it these days……and Well, if it wasn't for Amber Page Writes, I would have never gotten here because I wouldn't have seen your comment about YOU doing something to move and whatnot and not getting any followers or something and I'm all..>WHAT? She has not posted in a bit…She HAS posted? Aaaahhhhh…I want my Mami!!
::sending over a bicycle tire air pump and a hug::
Thank you. I could use a little inflation.

You can fix it by unfollowing me and then re-following. I've tried to figure out how to fix it some other way, but I can't do it. I've been lonely and missing my regulars. Come back!
Don't worry! remember that when a door closes.. a thousand open. I'm sure you'll find a 10.000 times better job very soon. God has a strange way to test us so we realize how strong we are.. Possitive waves heading your way!!!!!!!
I believe it's an opportunity…you just may not realize it yet!
Positive vibes!
You are an incredibly talented and funny writer. You have so much to offer. Something good will come along, but I know it can still be scary in the in between stages. In a year from now, we'll be reading a post about how this story turned out in amazing and unimaginable ways, just you wait! Hugs! – G
Sorry to hear about the job. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Hope you find the perfect job. I too unfollowed and refollowed and hope that works. Meanwhile I've been coming over from Networked Blogs just fine.
Thank you.
Oh, I hope you are right!
I'm so sorry that this happened to you… sending positive thoughts your way. Any business would be lucky to have you working for them, and I hope you find a good fit soon. I hate that insecure feeling, and I know it sucks. ((hugs))
Oh sweetness, I'm so sorry to hear about this – I know how scared you may feel because I've been there (not me losing the job, but my hubs). But I know things happen for a reason whethere you want to hear it or not. I totally believe in that. So chins up, stay strong. You'll be okay – we're here for you!!!
Aye amor mio . . . You know what? Everything happens for a reason. My Nana used to say que Dios cierra una puerto, pero te abre otra. I'll keep you unknown papi and putpie in my thoughts and oraciones. X's and O's.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the pep talk. Also, after reading your post, I realized that there are much bigger things I could lose. I'm still lucky compared to many others. I'll take a moment to feel blue and then I'll figure it out and move on.
Will you check and see if my feed is still updating in your reader or dashboard? A lot of people have had to un-follow and re-follow to get my feed to work.
Sorry it took you by surprise, no doubt an opportunity is just waiting for ya! Sending a little cowboy mojo your way!
Oh man!!! This stinks! I am so so sorry. Big FAT positive thoughts your way. Believing something GREAT is going to come along and blow your mind. **hugs**
I am so sorry to hear this but I believe that you will be back at work in no time!
My son lost his job unexpectedly and was able to find work pretty quickly after that so I have no doubts that something will come your way!
I am sending you lots of positive energy to help you with this!!!
ARGHH! Stress! Be good to yourself. xx
Maybe this is just paving the way for something better to come into your life. We women are pretty resourceful though. We tend to land on our feet. Good luck! I'm sending positive thoughts your way.
I was laid off from my full-time office job back in October. It has actually been a blessing since I needed to be a SAHM for my son who was going through a rough time with some serious medical issues.
Hopefully you will get another contract soon, or find something completely different and better waiting for you.
You will be fine. You're a strong woman and when one door closes another is bound to open. Cliches but they've worked for me. 🙂
I'll send as many positive thoughts as I can!!! I'm sorry to hear you are in this position. Maybe if you talk to them they can reconsider. :S
Ah, no! I'm so sorry. Hopefully something will land in your lap very very very soon.
I am so very sorry! I know it's hard to think positive at this point. But there could be better things waiting for you out there. I'm sending you positive thoughts and hugs!
Well, you made me laugh. You would have been the only one congratulating me on losing a job.
Sending good thoughts. I am the belief that sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe something a whole lot better is coming your way!!!
Hi,
I've always been told that when one door closes many new ones open. So far, it always been true for me. Dont waste your creative energy being scared. Something better will turn up. Also dont worry about the reader, my RSS feeds are not working. I've contacted Google and they are of no help. Its been hard maintaining a certain readership without the feeds but its not the end of the world. Positive thoughts going your way: repeat after me: I'm beautiful, smart, talented, young and very capable. I trust life will send the perfect job my way. Repeat as many times as required.
Take care,
Anne-Marie
nothing funny in that post of yours and you can be so funny. Was that the listening to Spanish ads for the right accent gig? I'm at a totally different place in life but I recently did some contracting and while doing it figured it was not going to last. I was surprised when they extended the term because I thought it would not last. It's been over for some time now.
Well stay positive and don't lose your “funny”.
I was coming to congratulate you on your happy news, and then I saw this post. Sending you all sorts of positive vibes that something else comes up quickly. I can imagine your shock 🙁
GAH – I left out the word “blog” as in “happy blog news” in ref to your WP blog
How did you find this job? Are there others like it out there? If you start putting the word out there to everyone you know and let everyone know what type of job you want maybe someone will hear of something. Sometimes the shock of hearing you are being let go fills up your head to the point that you can't see new possibilities or have the energy and attitude to find a new job. I hope you know you are so talented. It will be interesting to hear of the new things coming your way.
just want to add something I found – while “unjoining” and “joining” your blog I did a quick search on “unknown mami” and noticed that name is on linkedin. I sent you a request to link. I don't use linkedin much but back when our group was being laid off I thought it had great promise. I guess it's OK for staying in touch.
Oh friend…I come back from vacay to hear such rotten news for you. I am so very sorry. Sending all my positive energy your way and a virtual hug. I'll also send you a virtual martini, if you are drinking? I have experienced something similar, and though you didn't ask for advice, I will give it. Take a deep breath and try not to panic. I panicked. I f'ing freaked out. It didn't help matters. Just do what you can when you can and it will be fine. And listen to some Nikka Costa…always helps. you can always email me to vent….I will listen and send more martninis.
P.S. Met some awesome Mexican American folks from AZ on vacay. We vented about all those damn laws they have been passing.
BIG HUGS….
Tina
Sending lots of love. Keep us posted.
Positive thoughts your way!!! That does suck!
oh no!!!! That is not good, but don't worry, I'm sure something will work out soon. You're an amazing women!!!
when one door closes, another one opens.
I am so sorry. Sending positive thoughts and good vibes at you. I hope something bigger and better pops up. You are an incredibly talented writer. Someone will be honored to give you a job. Hang in there.
Having you call me a “talented writer” is quite a compliment. Thank you.
Mami, as amazing and loved as you are, I have no doubt that good things will come your way. I will send my prayers and hugs your way. 🙂
I am so so sorry. Big prayers going up for you!!!
I'm so sorry to hear this. Sometimes the best things come from those that seem the worst. My son's company closed in January, but he is now starting a very good and exciting job. I'd like to say you can get by on your looks, but a paper bag can take you only so far. Seriously, you will come out on top. Many positive thoughts coming your way.
Mami – I wouldn't call it “screwed”. I'd call it an opportunity for a new opportunity. From what I've learned about you from your blog, you are a strong and talented woman. I am sure you will land on your feet… and quickly!
Positive vibes coming your way! So sorry it isn't being renewed, but there will be something, somewhere – there's always a way! *hugs*
My thoughts are with you. I will say everything happens for a reason, you may not understand now… but soon you will. You will be back on your feet in no time! God doesnt give us more than we can handle, he obviously trusts you a lot… keep your head up. Smile, it looks good on ya!
Stay Fabulous

Don't worry. Change is always a challenge. Behind the corner new adventures are waiting for you. Go for it, it's going to be great, you rock!
Praying that you get a job quickly!
I am so sorry to hear this! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

I left you a Beautiful Blogger award on my blog today when you get a chance to stop by!
just me but won't positive vibes look more like ++++++++++++++++++
I truly believe that you will look back and later and realize that this is leading you to your next step in life. For right now, you must have faith. Hope that helps a little! I wrote two post about this:
1. Finding Opportunity in Adversity:
2. Stay Positive, Regardless:
Rabbit, rabbit (good luck wishes for the 1st of July)!
Positive thoughts along with prayers from me to you. I know you only through blog land, but your wit, charm, and tenacity shows through your words, and I'm sure, is much louder in real life keeping you flying towards an excellent job that fits for you.
Thank you for your kind words. I needed them.
Oy – scary!! However, sometimes the best things in life come to us after what we think is the worst point in life…so hang in there because something WONDERFUL will come your way!!!
I'm thinking positively; I'm thinking this means something GREAT is on the horizon. It will all work out…
Mami, I send you a big hug and I know something good will happen to you and family.
Sending love and positive thoughts your way! Thinking of you!
B xx
Thank you, Betty.
Damn it that sucks. I have been out of work since February, so I bleed for you. You are very talented, Mami, so good things will happen and you will find success. Remember – you deserve all good things.
Oh my sweet, sweet friend. I am sending you LOTS of love and positivity. I know that it sounds trite and probably not what you want to hear now but I do believe that all things work out well in the end. But in the mean, it stinks and I am truly sorry from the bottom of my Texas sized heart!
That truly blows. I hope something comes up really soon for you.
Thank you and also thank you for signing into the new site.
I'm sorry to hear this and hope you find something soon that allows you to work from home.
Mami ~ I have been thinking about you all day today. There is something better up ahead. I'm not just saying that. I believe it with all my heart. Hang in there, Chica. You are NOT alone!
I am so sorry, it seems like this is happening everywhere. it is crazy
OMGosh…I was trying to figure out why I hadn't hear from you…but then I forgot all about your e-mail regarding your site change ….so now I'm trying to catch up on all of your posts! Hang in there….God makes things happen for a reason, he must have a bigger and better plan for you! :):)
Sending good vibes. (HUGS)
Hugs. Prayers. Positive thoughts.
I'm reading back as my reader got flooded with your posts. Which is a good thing.
I hope things are falling into place. Always sending good wishes
